Thinking

I look at the news before my eyes can even focusa man died while I slept, nobody even noticedI pray it wasn't him, but I know it was someonethink about the family, today someone lost their husband, father, or son

Check for signs of life, any I can finddid he log on or email.. nope.. now it's all a matter of timeI go and get their breakfast, the kids still gotta be fedI've still gotta be a mother, even though I just wanna crawl back into bed

I do my daily chores, laugh and play the rolethinking of him always.. the pain runs deep down through my soulgo check again, hoping, he's made it back alivestill nothing, but 9 hours ahead, means it's only 8:45

phone rings, heart drops.. please don't let it be the call'yes it's me' I say.. oh; it was a wrong number after allno idea what he's doing, but I still wonder anywaygotta stop thinking for a while, take the kids outside to play

cook a supper that'll feed - two kids and myselfdoesn't matter what it is, there's always too much leftbathtime's finally over.. the kids are tucked in bed"make sure you tell daddy you love him, he can still hear you in his head"

I hear the message tone.. run to see if it's really himthank God!! we made it through another day, now it's time to start again.
